A picture of pseudogap phase related to charge fluxes

Abstract

Recently, charge density fluctuations or charge fluxes attract strong interests in understanding the unconventional superconductivity. In this paper, a new emergent configuration in cuprates is identified by density functional theory simulations, called the charge pseudoplane, which exhibits the property of confining the dynamic charge fluxes for higher superconducting transition temperatures. It further redefines the fundamental collective excitation in cuprates as pQon with the momentum-dependent and ultrafast localization-delocalization duality. It is shown that both pseudogap and superconducting phases can be born from and intertwined through the charge flux confinement property of the charge pseudoplane region. Our experimental simulations based on the new picture provide good agreements with previous angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy results. Our work thus opens a new perspective on the origin of pseudogap phase and other related phases in cuprates, and further provides a critical descriptor to search and design higher temperature superconductors.
